Keiryo develops a processing technology that improves the performance of polymers, enabling a reduced environmental footprint and lower manufacturing costs for plastic-based articles. The technology is highly scalable and requires limited capital expenditures for implementation.
It is based on the science of flow-enhanced nucleation and induced crystallization (FENIC). According to this science, a polymer's morphology and performance can be modified when subjected to specific pressure and friction during the injection phase.
Keiryo's technology includes a software modeling tool that calculates the processing conditions to trigger the FENIC effect and a 3D-printed hardware insert.
